A rewire is the biggest electrical job a home ever needs, so it deserves proper planning. Plenty of Derby's older properties are still running on wiring that was never meant to power a modern home, from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Normanton, the Arboretum and Peartree to the between-the-wars semis in Littleover, Allestree and Mickleover. Rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, scorched or warm sockets and simply not enough of them are all signs the installation is past its best.
We go room by room with you before a single cable is lifted, agreeing exactly where every socket, switch and light should go. Floors and furniture are protected, walls chased cleanly and everything made good afterwards, and we leave each room tidy at the end of every day. Every circuit is tested and certified to the 18th Edition, and because we're NAPIT registered we notify the work to Building Control for you. You get a clear day-by-day plan up front, so you always know what's happening and when, and one fixed price agreed before we start.

Your questions, answered
How long does a full rewire take in Derby?
One to two weeks for a typical three-bedroom home, depending on size and whether you're living in it. You get a clear day-by-day plan before we start, so you can work around it.
Can we stay in the house during the rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room and keep the power on overnight wherever possible. For bigger jobs it's sometimes quicker with the house empty, and we'll tell you honestly which suits.
How do I know if my Derby home needs rewiring?
Common signs are a fuse box with rewireable fuses, fabric or rubber-coated cables, warm or loose sockets and too few per room. We can inspect and tell you for certain, and we'll never recommend a rewire you don't need.
